Warming Up

Sunny skies and temps in the mid-30s felt downright tropical today. It was nice to be able to run with just a long sleeve shirt on over a short sleeved one and long pants. Ah, the freedom.

My left knee sprain made itself known again today. Felt it again out of the blue when I woke up this morning, and definitely noticeable during the run. I don't think it's that big of a deal, but it does warrant careful monitoring. May take a rest day tomorrow as a precaution. In the meantime, plenty of ice and anti-inflammatories.

The run itself... took it slow and easy with the goal of not letting my heart rate get above 149. I set the alarm on my Forerunner to go off when it got above that. Very nifty for sure, not to mention valuable. This gadget continues to impress me.

While I'm many hours away from you, I also had warm weather tonight here in upstate NY, but events conspired against me to prevent a run. I may be running during snow tomorrow night. Oh well. The sacrifices we make for our passions...

Hi Jamie; I assume you are already on the Cape. My ISP screwed up my domain. All fixed now. Hopefully your knee will behave. Let me know if you want a pacer. I only need to run a 3:30 and am more than happy to try and nail a faster time with you.
